Planetary Hours

Planetary Hours are known as Kala Hora in Sanskrit.

A day divided by twelve roughly is Planetary Hour. That is if the duration of day is 12 hours and 48 minuts, then PH = 12.48/12. We have developed programs to calculate Planetary Hours

The sequential order of Kala Hora lords are

Sun, Venus, Mercury, Moon, Saturn, Jupiter & Mars

_ Arka Shukra Budhaschandra Manda Jeeva Dharasuthe Kramena Kalahoresa


On Sunday, the first Planetary Hour is ruled by the lord of the day, Sun. Next planetary Hour will be that of Venus and so on in that sequential order. So twenty second Planetary Hour lord is again Sun. The twenty third will be Venus and twenty fourth will be Mercury and the twenty fifth lord will be Moon. That is why Moon's day or Monday follows Sunday ! The sequential order of Weekdays is based on the sequential order of Planetary hours !
